FILM VS. PRINTER FAQS

TECHNICAL INFO:
InkJet output has excellent image contrast and permits larger image sizes than Lasers Printers.
Inkjet printers often need a separately installed RIP Software (Raster Image Processor) for half-tone or mezzotint art output.
Note that dot quality at high-resolution can depend upon some printer-rip-film combinations of settings.
Vector (line art) images can redily output without additional software needed.
Always test different "paper", "quality", and "ink volume" settings where available for best results.
If you choose to not use your printer for ANY color printing, there are systems that provide the most efficient conversion of your Epson to a dedicated film imagesetter:
All Black Ink Cartridge Conversion allows you to have all cartridges print black for better ink milage of film output and is less messy but slightly more expensive than bulk-fill systems.
Bulk Ink Filling Systems allow you to use refillable cartridges and bulk bottles of ink for the highest milage and lowest costs.
